2018 Finalist Best Comedy & 2018 Finalist Popular Vote - Aust. Podcast Awards. Barney Black and Tara Sariban discuss the dark details of lesser know true crime stories from Australia and around the world. As avid listeners of true crime podcasts they aim to add to the conversation by talking about murders that haven’t been done to death on other shows. Their humour comes from some rather unusual places but never at the expense of the victims or their families.

Serial killer Charles Howard Schmid Jr was a bizarre young man who dyed his hair black and tanned his face with make up.

He was also an unlikely cult hero to the disaffected youth of Tucson in the early 1960's.

Justin Cox had always had a problem with managing his anger. A devastating life change, mixed with alcohol and the misguided belief a padelophile was living next door, drove him to murder a possibly innocent man named Samuel “Gadget” Connolly.
